Happy New Year 2013 from Bandung Indonesia. Wish you have a wonderful year ahead. Below are pictures of fireworks above my house. A little bit rainy here but there were no reason to hold fireworks.
Indonesia
I had lunch at Origin House & Kitchen Restaurant Bandung which located at Jalan Sumatra No.21 Bandung. This restaurant had an open space concept to make cool air of Bandung flows inside. Nothing special when my Ice Lemon Tea come. As you can see, it is just lemon and tea (no wonder they called it lemon tea). However, I like their coasted which have nice cutting pattern. For meal, I ordered Salmon Spaghetti and Fettucini Carbonara. Tasted delicious but the portion was small as you can see in below picture. I don’t know whether its plate is too big or my hunger level is too high. Anyway, I like the restaurant concept with its unique furniture. Quite recommended when you visited Bandung city to spend time during lunch or dinner.
I was going to Pulau Umang. I made this panorama picture using automate photo merge action in Photoshop. I noticed there are some color different in the picture. Maybe, I will adjust it one day. 🙂
Anyway, Pulau Umang is an island located at western part of Java, namely Ujung Kulon, Banten. Ujung Kulong is famous with its Java Rhino. To go to this Island, we should go to Ujung Kulon which is around 6 hours driving from Jakarta. We will park our car near the dock. Using speed boat, we will arrive at the island in 15 minutes. The building in the picture is the main hall. We will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in there. They have a karaoke at night. Love it. During day time, they offered many water sport activities. Snorkeling is quite nice. Air is fresh and water is clean. Facilities are also quite complete. They have jacuzzi. Nice. After you relax and happy in the island, I believe you will have a lot of stamina to drive back to Jakarta to face your routine daily activities. 😀

This week topic is Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry. I have been to Kampoeng Strawberry Bungalow and Restaurant at Ciwidey Bandung. I took picture of their stairs in front of the lobby. From this picture, we can see a nice repetition shapes and rhythms which is coming from stairs, pillars, and roof. Additional two strawberry statues give a nice taste on the building structure. Actually, this stairs is quite busy. Therefore, I have to wait until nobody use this stair before I shot it.
For you who want to go to Kampoeng Strawberry, I have shot their poster for more information about them. This place is about one and half hour driving from Bandung City. I can say this is a quite nice place to spend time with family during weekend. Cheers.
